Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
My Life Without Me only has one way to go, and it makes some dippy turns getting there. But Polley makes the trip worth it.

fresh:
My Life Without Me is not a gentle film. Insistent and unforgettable, it wounds on the inside, and the scars feel fresh for some time.

rotten:
Coixet doesn't make her lead character compelling, or likable.
– Randy Cordova,

fresh:
A good example of how Polley elevates nearly everything in which she appears.
– Terry Lawson,

fresh:
Polley's performance is pitch-perfect, and that the world described herein -- glazed with humor as well as melancholy -- is devoid of phony sentiment.
